Song Quote by Anonymous

“Here is a piece that falls between the chapters, like a coin between paving stones. It is a slice of silence in the middle of a melody. It is a rough and ragged spot, like the frill of stubs where pages have been torn out. There is no point looking for them. They are gone” quote by Anonymous
